Structure
Abstract
Structured summary: background, objectives, methods (data sources, eligibility), results, and conclusions.
Introduction
Explain the rationale for the review and state your objectives or review question (e.g., using a PICO framework).
Methods
Report your eligibility criteria, information sources and search strategy, the selection (screening) process, and how you extracted and appraised data. Following the PRISMA reporting guidelines strengthens transparency.
Results
Describe study selection (a PRISMA flow diagram helps), the characteristics of included studies, and your synthesis of findings.
Discussion
Summarize the evidence, discuss limitations (of the studies and of the review), and state implications for practice and research.
Conclusion
A concise answer to your review question, grounded in the synthesized evidence.
